 Since the condenser vane works very much like the spell [[Ignition]] does, it is best used when you are facing a (large) group of enemies with restricted room to maneuver: the density of monsters will create a carpet of clouds, at least at high Evocations. The entrance to [[Vaults]]:5 is an obvious one, as are [[Ziggurat]] floors.
-Since intelligent enemies will not willingly walk into sufficiently damaging clouds, consider combining a condenser vane carpet with a [[potion of attraction]] to pull them in nevertheless. Adding a [[scroll of silence]] on top makes the end vault of Elf:3 quite a bit easier.
